J. Jonah Jameson and Flash Thompson... two of my very favorite supporting characters, both of whom have had some rough times, character-wise, lately.
For years, I held Flash Thompson up as a prime example of successful character development in comics: He started out as a jerk and a bully, but gradually changed and matured (partly because of his stint in the army) and ended up as an admirable man and good friend to Peter Parker -- even if he never did bet over his tendency towards cockiness and self-glorification. Then, of course, sometime after the Clone saga, he went through a whole lot of angsty stuff and spent some time in a coma, before devolving back into being a jerk.
What's he up to these days, by the way? Anyone know? (I haven't been following Spider-Man comics since shortly before One More Day...)
